MCSG V2 - Unfulfilled Promises

[CrystalKnowledge]

So I was browsing the MCSG forums when I came across an old news post for MCSG V. 2 with this photo:

I can't help but feel that we're missing out big time here, mostly on:

• Advanced Statistics
• Tournaments with Real Prizes
• Achievements
• Game Masters

And that's a good 40% of what was promised. And keep in mind this was posted over a year ago, so it's long gone now. So what exactly happened, and how come so many of these concepts never saw the light of day? They all seemed like a good idea to me. Yes, I know the staff is extremely busy with the server, but those 4 things shouldn't take a year and a half to make.

Its really human nature... give them something to eat, and they will bite your hand.

If you dont understand what I meant with that here it is. Seems people cant ever have enough, no matter how much they are given they will ask for more, or criticise what they were given.

I understand where you come from with this, but at this point... its kinda late to claim for this stuff, MCSG V2 has been out for a very long while already.
Its better to look at what you have than what you dont.

Just saying they did add achievements...
And they did add advanced statistics....
Trust me they did a lot of work since v1

The only thing they didn't add were tournaments with real prizes.

(That's 10%, not 40% ;D)

Well then what happened with the advanced statistics (I don't see those, they said you could chart your daily averages and compare them), game masters, and the achievements (They were supposed to be hooked up between ingame and online with the badges and everything.

I honestly don't mind, I love the servers as is. It just seems weird for MCSG to have made such a big deal out of this and then not fully fulfill everything. I get missing out one thing, but why promise it if they weren't going to do it?

Also I know I'm a bit late on this (I've only been part of these forums for about a month), but had someone said this 3, 5, or perhaps even 7 months after it came out people might say "The staff are busy, give them time", but now people say "It's so long ago it doesn't really matter".

The leaderboards changed from v1, they're also implementing more advanced stats at the moment I believe.

Game master is a moderator command which was implemented.

Achievements... Half done? I guess you could say that, haha.

They added GameMasters... just sayin.

I guess I don't really understand how it works then :/
Can you sum it up for me?

 

[ViolentKitten]

Not only have they added most things on the list, they have done much more.
Also they have done contests, and they have done forms of tournaments. Im not familiar with them but they have run games with the winner earning donor etc

Mods can go in to GameMaster if they're specing a hacker or something, and they can be completely invisible in the server.

(I understand this is a small necro, but it's still relevant or something like that, and not an actual necro.)

That's not a gameplay or quality-of-life feature for the players, though - It's something for only staff members. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MCSG needed to show that they were implementing GameMasters if players would never get the chance to experience anything like it. It's basically something to promote MCSG using something that never will or did happen?
